What is the SSAT?

SSAT stands for Secondary School Admissions Test. Developed by The Enrollment Management Association (EMA) to standardize the admissions testing process, the SSAT measures the basic verbal, math, and reading skills students need for favorable performance in independent schools. It has proven to be an exceptionally valid indicator of first-year student success. Since 1957, it has provided admissions professionals with a way to assess applicants, regardless of their background or experience.
